HISTORICAL MEMORANDA 



OF THE 



46th ILLINOIS VETERAN 

VOLUNTEER INFANTRY, 

FROM ITS ORGANIZATION. 



:p.a.:r,t first. 

The 46th Regiment Illinois Infantry Volunteers, composed 
of Companies A, B, C. G and K, from Stephenson County, 
and F from Richland County, rendezvoused at Camp Butler, 
Illinois, and Companies D, I, H and E from Lee, Ogle and 
Whiteside counties, rendezvoused at Dixon, Illinois, was or- 
ganized at Camp Butler, Illinois, on the 28th day of Decem- 
ber, 1861, under the command of Col. John A. Davis, of 
Stephenson county, who labored assidiously while the Reg- 
iment was in camps of instruction to bring it up to a high 
state of drill and discipline, with very satisfactory results. 

On the 11th day of February, 1862, the Regiment left 
Camp Butler by rail, via. Decatur, Ill's., arriving at Cairo 
the morning of the 12th. and immediately embarked on the 
Steamer " Belle Memphis " with orders to proceed up the 
Cumberland River and report to Gen. Grant, before Fort 
Donelson, Tenn. After a very pleasant trip in company 
with the largest and most magnificent fleet of steamers ever be- 
fore seen on the Cumberland River, the regiment landed on 
the west bank of the same on the merning of the 14th of 
February, three miles below. Fort Donelson. The men were 
supplied with forty rounds of ammunition each and disem- 
barked. Having no teams, nothing but what the men could 
carry could be taken along. Everything else was stored up- 
on the muddy bank and a guard of invalids placed over it. 
A weary march of six miles was made to reach the Head 
Quarters of Gen. Grant, to whom Col. Davis reported on the 
afternoon of February 14th. The Regiment was assigned to 
Gen. Lew Wallace's command, but was not ordered to the 
front until the morning of the 15th of February. Having 
no tents and only a limited supply of blankets and rations, 
the men suffered greatly during the cold and snowy night. 
It was a very rough initiation into the soldier's life, and few 



40 

indeed wore the number who did not wish for a speedy ter- 
mination of the war and the termination of their enlist- 
ment. 

On the morning of the 15th the Regiment was assigned a 
position near the right of the line where the rebels had the 
day. previous attempted to cut their way through and where 
it was apprehended they would make another attempt. The 
regiment, however, with the exception of changing position 
.several times during the day, rested quietly upon its arms 
uutil about three P. M., when it was ordered to the front and 
right to support a battery that was about to open on the 
enemy in their works. No sooner had the Regiment taken 
its position partially protected from the enemy's fire by a 
low ridge upon which the battery was posted, than the en- 
emy opened a most terrific fire to dislodge our battery, which 
was annoying them very much, wounding three of our men. 
one mortally. After having several horses killed and woun- 
ded, the battery retired. There being no sign of the enemy 
attempting any advance, Col. Davis withdrew the Regiment 
to a more sheltered position where it remained, until night 
put a stop to all further work, and then marched to its biv- 
ouac of the preceding night, which proved even more cheer- 
less than the first. 

Early on the morning of the 16th while moving to our po- 
sition of the previous day, messengers met us with the joy- 
ful tidings that the enemy had surrendered, which was soon 
^iiade apparent by the numerous white flags seen floating 
over their works. The Regiment continued its march through 
the rebel works and into the town of Dover, where it was at 
once detailed to guard the immense stores left by the enemy 
upon the landing. Very soon Gunboats and transports arriv- 
ed at the landing loaded with troops and supplies, the latter 
of which were very acceptable to our almost famished sol- 
diers. 

On the 17th of February the Regiment was assigned to 
(xen. Thayer's brigade and ordered to proceed to Fort Hen- 
ry, Tenn. It was provided with two four mule teams to 
draw rations and cooking utensils, while the tents and all 
other baggage was forwarded by boat down the Cumberland 
and up the Tennessee rivers to Fort Henry. The Regiment 
arrived at Fort Henry on the afternoon of the 19th February 
in a terrible rainstorm and through mud indescribable. 
W"hild at the Fort the Regiment occupied the log huts or 
barracks constructed by the Confederates, which proved 
•most convenient and comfortable. 

On the fifth of March orders were received to proceed by 
boat up the Tennessee River. During that afternoon and 
night, with great difficulty and labor, the baggage, supplies 
and ammunition were put on board the Steamer " Aurora." 
The water was very high, overflowing the banks and filling 
the bayous, which made it necessary to transport all the bag- 
gage to the steamer in a few small and miserably constructed 



41 

boats and dug-outs, making it a very tedious as well as la- 
borious operation. 

The Begiment embai-ked on the 6th and started up the 
river on the 7th. After many delays it arrived at Savanah, 
Tenn., on the 12th. It laid in the vicinity of Savanah until 
the morning of the 18th, when it proceeded up the river, ar- 
riving at Pittsburg Landing on the same evening. March 
19th, disembarked and went into camp one and a half miles 
from the landing, the men having to carry the greater part, 
of their tents and baggage to camp, for the want of other 
means of transportation. The trip from Fort Henry to 
Pittsburg Landing, on account of the crowded condition of 
the boat, bad water, and want of proper opportunity for ex- 
ercise, proved very injurious to the health of the Eegiment. 
Several died on the way and the sick list was largely in- 
creased. 

Before leaving Fort Henry the Eegiment was assigned to 
the 2nd Brigade, 4th Division. The Brigade consisted of the 
14th, 15th and 46th Illinois, and the 25th Indiana Infantry 
and was commanded by Col. James C. Veatch of the latter 
regiment. The Division was commanded by Brig. Gen. Ste- 
phen A. Hurlbut, of Illinois. The regiment remained quiet- 
ly in camp, drilling and doing camp and picket duty, until 
the battle of Shiloh, on the 6th and 7th of April. On the 
night of the 4th of April, our camps were alarmed and our 
Brigade moved out about two miles to Gen. Sherman's camp, 
when we were ordered back, being told that it was a false 
alarm. The part taken in the battle of Shiloh by the Eeg- 
iment is fully and ably set forth in the following reports, viz : 



COLONEL JOHN A. DAVIS' EEPOET. 

Headquarters 46th Eegt. III. Vol. Inft'y. 
Pittsburg Landing, Tenn., Ap'l 8th, 1862. 

Capt. F. W. Fox, 

Asst. Adjt. Gen'l. 2nd Brigade 4th Division. 
Captain : — I have the honor to report to you that, on Sun- 
day morning the 6th inst., at aboui 73 o'clock, A. M., the en- 
emies fire was first heard in my camp, whereupon I ordered 
my men to hold themselves in readiness to march at a mo: 
ments notice, and in less than five minutes after receiving 
your order my regiment was on the march to the battle-field, 
reaching there between 9 and 10 o'clock, A. M. It took a po- 
sition ordered by Col. Veatcb in person. A regiment posted 
about two hundred yards in front of our line gave way un- 
der the enemies fire, and retreated through my line which 
was lying down. As soon as it passed my men rose, dressed 
their line and immediately commenced pouring a destruct- 
ive fii*e into the enemy. The regiment posted on our right 



42 

gave way and the enemy, keeping up a hot fire along my 
whole front and a raking cross fire upon my right fllank, 
killing and wounding over one half of my right companies, 
badly cutting up my other companies, eight of my line of- 
ficers, the Major and color bearer wounded, I deemed it my 
duty, without further orders, to withdraw my command, 
which I did, to a position beyond the brow of a hill, where I 
again formed it by command of Col. Veatch. Finding no 
support to my right or left, I fell back to the foot of the hill, 
finding the 49th Illinois Infantry, commanded by Lieut. Col. 
Pease, at whose request I assumed command of both reg- 
iments and moved them by the right flank and established a 
line of battle on the ground which had been occupied by a 
portion of Gen. McClcrnand's Division, and in front of where 
Taylor's Battery was then planted. The enemy appearing 
in large force over the ground from which we had just re- 
treated, I was ordered to withdraw my troops, that the Bat- 
tery could open fire on the enemy. The 49th 111. Infantry 
deploj-ed to the left and my regiment to the right of the Bat- 
tery. Forming my men again in the rear of a fence front- 
ing the enemy, I ordered them to lay down and prepared to 
resist any attack the enemy might make upon the Battery. 
Having succeeded in driving the enemy over the brow of 
the hill, the 1st Brigade of Shermans Division appeared upon 
the ground for the purposeof following up the enemy in their 
retreat. I joined my command upon the left of this Brigade 
and moved up in line to within two hundred yards of the en- 
emy, when a brisk and destructive fire opened upon our 
whole line. Planting our colors in front of our line of battle, 
I ordered my command to shelter themselves behind trees 
and logs as best they could, within short range of the enemy, 
and kept up a constant fire until the regiment on our right 
had given away and fallen back across the ravine, when I 
ordered my men to fall back into the ravine, and moving 
them by the left flank I took them out of the range of the 
enemies guns. In this last engagement, Capt. Wm. Young, 
of company " G." who had succeeded in rallying more men 
after the first engagement than any other Captain, and who 
heroically told me he would stand by me and the colors un- 
til the last man was killed, fell, shot through the mouth, and 
was carried from the field. Reinforcements now arriving, 
and my men having been compelled to fall back from these 
two fierce engagements, had become somewhat scattered. It 
being now one o'clock, my ammunition exhausted, having 
lost my horse in the first engagement, and compelled to go 
on foot the balance of the time, and finding myself within a 
half mile of my Regimental encampment, I marched my men 
to it for dinner. Calling my men into line immediatly after 
dinner, I formed them on the right of the Brigade comman- 
ded by Col. C. C. Marsh, at his request, in front of and to the 
left of my camp, where we again met the enemy. A Battery 
on my left leaving under the fire of the enemy, the regiments 



43 



both on the right and left fell back, but my line did not wa- 
ver, and the other regiments were again rallied and stopped 
the advance of the enemy. 

We lay in this position on our arms all nignt. After break- 
fast in the morning, still retaining my position on the right 
of Col. Marsh's Brigade, I moved with him until I reached 
and went beyond the ground of our last engagement of Sun- 
day when our skirmishers were driven in and some confu- 
sion arising on the left of our Brigade, Col. Marsh ordered 
the Brigade to fall back and changing the whole front of his- 
line to the left, he again moved the Brigade forward The 
enemy soon drove in our pickets and we found him in 
strength along tne whole line of our front, and when within 
two hundred yards the fire opened upon both sides, my ^men 
loading and firing with the coolness of veterans. Here I had 
another horse shot from under me in the midst of the en- 
gagement and while the battle was raging with the utmost 
fury. My men determined that they had fallen back for the 
last time, and while receiving the fire of the enemy and de- 
livering their own with the utmost coolness, I was wounded 
and earned from the field. Lieut. Col. Jones reports that 
my men still stood firm, holding their ground, although out- 
flanked, with the colors of the 46th and those of the rebels 
planted within thirty yards of each other and the enemy 
driven back for the last time, when the 46th was ordered, by 
Gen. Hurlbut in person, to their quarters. 

I ought not to close this communication without bearing 
tribute'to the gallantry and bravery of my command. Lieut. 
Col. Jones was with the regiment throughout all its engage- 
ments, and did his duty manfully. Maj. Dornblaser, severly 
wounded in the arm in the early part of the action, remained 
with me until the men were brought off the field and re-form- 
ed, and did not leave until after a peremptory order from my- 
self to go to his quarters. Capt. Musser of Company " A. 
while his brave company was assailed by overwhelmnmg 
numbers to the front and right flank, still kept his fire pour- 
ing upon the enemy and his ranks dressed until hnnsell 
wounded and carried from the field, seven of his men killed 
and twenty wounded in the action. The company held its 
ground as did all the others until ordered to retreat. Capt. 
Stevens while bravely keeping his men in line to bring them 
off the field, fell, fatally wounded, the nearest man of his 
company to the rebel line. Capt. Marble of Company " L, 
fell while brandishing his sword and calling on the Major 
becked him to take it, saying, " if the rebs get me they shall 
not get my sword." Capt. McCracken received a severe 
contusion in the first engagement, but kept on duty with his 
company the whole of the two days. Lieuts. Hood Barr r 
Arnold. Ingraham and Howell were all wounded in the first 
engagement of Sunday while manfully doing their duty at 
their posts. Too much praise cannot be awarded to the 



44 



brave officers and men of the 46th Illinois Infantry who 
helped to win our signal victory. 

All of which is respectfully submitted. 

JOHN A. DAVIS, 
Col. Comd'g 46th 111. Vol. Inft'y.

suthwest from my camp. lu a few moments the 2d Brigade, 
consisting of the 14th Illinois Infantry, Col. Hall, 15th Illi- 
nois Infantry, Lieut. Col. Ellis, 46th Illinois Infantry, Col. 
Davis, and 25th Indiana Infantry, Lieut. Col. Morgan, was 
formed in lino and awaiting orders. In a short time Gen. 
Hurlbut's aid, Lieut. Long, directed me to move forward to 
support Gen. Sherman, and to take, a position near a field 
Ksed for reviews, beyond Col. Rap's Headquarters. When 
we reached the field fhe enemy was pressing rapidly forward 
toward that point. A line of battle was already formed in 
front of us and a second line in the rear of the first was being- 
formed on our right. I had but little time to examine the 
ground, but took the best position that could be found to 
support the troops in front of us. An officer representing 
himself as acting under Gen. Sherman's orders, rode up in 
great haste and directed me to move ray Brigade by the 



45 

right flank and join to the line which was forming on our 
right. I executed the movement as directed but it placed 
the rio-ht of my Brigade on wor6e ground than I had chosen, 
thougn it had the advantage of forming a line of battle of 
greater length. 

The enemy now opened fire on the troops in front ot us 
which threw them into confusion and they broke through 
the lines of the 15th and 46th Illinois Infantry, many of them 
without returning a fire. At the same time the line on the 
right of this Brigade gave way and left the 15th Illinois In- 
fantry exposed to the whole force of the enemies fire in front 
and a raking fire from the right. Lieut. Col. Ellis heorically 
held the ground and returned the fire with deadly effect. 
While cheering his men and directing their fire, he fell, mor- 
tally wounded. Nearly at the same time Major Goddard 
was killed, and the regiment, without field officers, was com- 
pelled to fall back before overpowering numbers. 

The enemy was moving another" heavy column on the 
point occupied by Col. Davis of the 46th Illinois Infantry. 
The line in front of him broke and rushed through his ranks, 
throwing them into confusion. As soon as these scattered 
troops had cleared his front he poured in a well directed fire 
upon the enemy, which for a time checked his progress, but 
it was impossible to hold his position against a force so far 
superior. Major Dornblas* r was severely wounded, a large 
number of his company officers disabled and his color guard 
shot down. Col. Davis seized his colors and bore them from 
the field, presenting a most noted mark for the enemy who 
sent after him a terrificfire as he retired. I directed him to fall 
back and rally his men in the rear of the fresh troops that 
were then advancing. 



It will not be claiming too much for this Brigade to say, 
that, but for its determined resistance to the enemy, he would 
have reached the center of our camp early in the day. The 
field officers behaved with gallantry on every occasion. 



Col. Davis, Lieut. Col. Jones and Major Dornblaser of the 
46th Illinois Infantry, each displayed coolness and courage 
in resisting the heavy columns thrown against them. Major 
Dornblaser was wounded and compelled to leave the field 
early on the first day. Col. Davis was severely wounded on 
the second day while gallantly fighting in Col. Marsh's Brig- 
ade and was carried from the field. Lieut. Col. Jones took 
command and conducted his regiment with skill and courage 

until the battle closed.

BRIG. GEN. S. A. HURLBUT'S CONGRATULATORY 

ORDER. 

The General commanding tenders his heartfelt congratula- 
tions to the surviving officers and men of his Division, for 
their magnificent services during the two days of struggle 
-which, under the blessing of God. has resulted in victor)^. 
Let the Division remember, that for five hours on Sunday 
they held, under the most terrific fire, the key point of the 
left of the army and only fell back when outflanked by over- 
whelmning numbers, pressing through points abandoned by 
■our supports. Let them remember, that when they fell 
back it was in order, and that the last line of resistance in 
rear of the heavy guns was formed first by this Division. 
Let them remember, that on the morning of Monday, with- 
out food and without sleep, they were ordered forward to re- 
inforce the right, and that whenever either Brigade of this 
Division appeared in the field of action, they were in time to 
support broken planks and to hold the line. Keep these facts 
in your memory^ to hand down to your children when we con- 
quer a peace, and let it be the chief pride of every man in 
the command — as it is of your General — that he was at 
Pittsburg with the Fighting Fourth Division. 
By Order of 

BRIG. GEN. S. A. HURLBUT : 

Smith D. Atkins, 

A. A. A. Gen'l, 4th Division. 



During the two days fighting at Shiloh, the regiment lost 
one hundred and ninety-six men killed, wounded and missing, 

Prior to the battle, Col. Davis obtained sufficient transpor- 
tation for the regiment, it having been in the field nearly 
two months without the means of transporting rations or 
baggage except what was carried by the men. 

On the 24th of April, the regiment with the Brigade, com- 
menced its march upon Corinth, Miss. The first day it 
marched but four miles and went into camp, from which it 
did not again move until the 30th of April. On the 29th of 
April Major Hazelton, Paymaster U. S. A., paid the regiment 
up to February 28th, being the first pay that it had received 
since its organization. On the 30th of April the old Fourth 
Division made its famous march through Monterey, Tenn. 
Although the distance made was but five miles, it was a very 
hard day's march through such a rain storm and over such 
roads as will never be forgotten. The teams with the bag- 
gage and supplies could not get through until the following 
day. The regiment went into camp at Pea Ridge, where it 
remained until the fo'irth of May, when it again advanced a 
few miles. Skirmishing with the enemy now commenced, 
they disputing «ur way almost constantly. On the eighth of 



47 



May we advanced two miles toward Corinth, driving the en- 
emy and capturing some prisoners and property. On the 
9th the rebel pickets were pressed back nearly three miles, 
and on tho 10th our camp was taken to the front. Our lines 
were thus advanced from day to day with more or less skir- 
mishing until the 14th of May, when the work of throwing 
up heavy lines of eath works was commenced in good earnest 
and the siege of Corinth actually began. 

On the 21st of May another advance was made, and anoth- 
er line of works thrown up. On the 27th the 46th Illinois 
Infantry was sent around to the rear of Corinth with a large 
force of Cavalry, on a reconnoisance. Near Purdy Church 
the enemy was encountered by the advance guard of cavalry. 
The 46th was at once ordered to the front, one company 
(" A.") was deployed as skirmishers and the remainder formed 
into line as fast as they could come up. The enemy soon ap- 
peared upon a full charge, but after receiving a volly from 
the skirmishers, turned and fled in great confubion, with a 
loss to them of eight killed and wounded and no loss to us. 
The object of the expedition having been accomplished, we 
returned to camp very much fatigued by our long and rapid 
march. The particular object of sending one small regiment 
of Infantry on a scout with over three thousand cavalry, and 
when the enemy was encountered, hurrying the Infantry for- 
ward on the run to the front, could never be fully comprehended 
by the combined wisdom of the regiment. 

On the 29th our lines were again advanced three fourths ot 
a mile, and a line of heavy works thrown up. Early on the 
morning of the 30th, it was discovered that the enemy had 
evacuated Corinth during the previous day and night, thus 
enabling our army to take peaceable possession of the town. 
On the 2d of June we broke camp and marched through 
Corinth, and went into camp six miles west from the town. 
On the 9th the regiment was again paid by Major Phelps, 
for March and April. On the 10th marched fifteen miles to 
Hatchie Eiver and constructed a bridge across the same on 
the 11th, which had been destroyed by the rebels to retard 
our pursuit. Our march was leisurely continued until Sun- 
day, June 15th, when we passed through Grand Junction, 
Tenn., and went into camp at Cold Springs, three miles south- 
west from Grand Junction. Here the regiment did its first 
drilling since the battle of Sbiloh, its music consisting of one 
snare and one base drum. On the 24th we moved our camp 
four miles to a point two miles west of La Grange. The 
place of our encampment here is known by the regiment as 
" Collar Bone Hill." 

June 30th, left camp at 2 p. m., and marched twelve miles 
to old i: Lamar Churcb " in the direction of Holly Springs. 
Miss. July 1st, marched to Cold Water Creek. It was re- 
ported that the rebels had a camp at this place, but we found 
no enemy and went into camp. On the 3d we had a big 
scare, which brought us into line in a remarkably short space 



48 

of time. It was reported that the enemy were advancing 
upon us in large force, but after making a more cool and ac- 
curate reconnoisanee it proved a false alarm, being one of our 
own regiments coming in from a scout. 

On the 5th of July, we commenced our return march, hav- 
ing accomplished all that was expected. We returned by 
the same route we came and arrived at La Grange on the 
6th. The heat was intense on our return march, and water 
poor and scarce, causing much suffering. A number of men 
in the command were sun-struck. 

On the 17th of July we struck tents and commenced our 
march to Memphis, Tenn., going to Moscow the first day, to 
Lafayette the second, to Germ&ntown the third, to Whites 
Station the fourth, and on the fifth day, July 21st, to camp 
two miles South of Memphis, on the east bank of the Missis- 
sippi River. 

The distance from La Grange to Memphis is fifty miles., 
and the mai*ch was made in the hottest weather and over the 
most dusty roads. The regiment had been unable to procure 
new clothes for a long time and its appearance when enter- 
ing the city of Memphis called forth anything but compli- 
mentary remarks as to its dress. Several officers had to 
substitute their last pair of drawers for pants. Jew clothing 
dealers went into ecstacies of delight as they saw the ragged 
column pass in anticipation of large sales and larger profits. 

The regiment was engaged in camp and picket duty until 
August 27th, when it went with the Brigade on a scout on 
the " Pigeon Roost " road running southeast from Memphis 
to Nonconah Creek, six miles from Memphis, and encamped. 
On the 29th went two miles further, the cavalry going in ad- 
vance, capturing some twenty-five prisoners. Returned to 
camp on the 31st, having accomplished but little. 

On the Gth of September, the whole Division started in the 
direction of Brownsville, Tenn., to which place it was sup- 
posed we were ordered. We had orders to be ready to march 
at 2, a. m., consequently the men were aroused at one o'clock, 
tents struck and wagons loaded, but the order to march did 
not come until four o'clock p. m. We marched through the 
city and encamped for the night near Wolf river, five miles 
from Memphis. On the 7th, marched sixteen miles through 
Raleigh and Union Station on the M. & C. R. R, Rested on 
the 8th. September 9th, marched to Big Muddy River, — a 
very appropriate name — where the bridge had been destroyed 
by the rebels. After constructing a crossing so as to enable 
us to resume our march, a messenger arrived with orders for 
us to proceed to Bolivar, Tenn., instead of Brownsville. 
Hence on the 11th we moved by the way of Hampton Sta- 
tion and Danville, and on the 12th through Whiteville to 
Pleasant Creek, three miles northeast of Bolivar. On the 
14th we changed camp, passing through Bolivar to the Hat- 
chie river, two miles north of town. We were obliged to 
change our camp every few days from one side of the town 



49 

to the other until the 24th of September. On the 27th of 
September all the troops of this place were reviewed by Gen- 
erals McPherson, Veatch and Lauman. They made a very 
fine appearance. 

"While here Colonel Jobn A. Davis returned to the reg- 
iment and was very warmly greeted. He had been absent 
since the battle of Shiloh, suffering from a severe wound, 
which still troubled him. 

On the 4th of October orders were received to proceed 
towards Corinth to make a division in favor of our force 
there, which had been attacked by Price and Van Dorn. 
When near Matamoraon Hatchie river, a large force of reb- 
els were encountered and vigorously attacked by our forces, 
soon driving them across the river, capturing several pieces 
of artillery and a large number of prisoners. The part taken 
by the 46th Illinois in this engagement is fully given in the 
following report : 



LIEUT. COL. JOHN J. JONES' KEPOKT. 

Headquarters 46th Ills. Vol. Inft'y. 
Bolivar, Tenn., Oct. 9th, 1862. 
Captain F. W. Fox, 

A. A. Gen'l 2nd Brig, ith Division. 
Captain. — At eight o'clock on the morning of the 5th inst., 
under orders from Brig. Gen. Veatch, the 46th regiment took 
a position on the right of the 2d Brigade, in the advance, to 
support Bolton's Battery, two miles west of the Big Hatchie. 
After firing shots the Battery took a position half a mile in 
advance, where they opened a galling fire upon the rebels, 
which lasted about three-fourths of an hour, when the word 
" forward" was given. The men all moved at the word and 
soon received the melancholy intelligence that our loved and 
gallant Col. Davis was again severely wounded by a canister 
shot. When I took command and announced this, the reg- 
iment seemed determined to avenge their loss, and soon an 
opportunity offered, for at this moment the rebels opened 
their first volly at short range, which was received with 
great coolness by the men until they heard the command to 
fire which they did and charged, driving the rebels over and 
from their batteries to the opposite bank of the river. Here 
the enemy made a stand, and confidently expected to repulse 
our force, but the word was still " forward," and on we 
marched at double-quick, forming in line over the river. 
Here Sergeant John E. Hershey, color bearer, fell wounded. 
Corpl. Thomas E. Joiner, of company " G," true to duty, bore 
both colors across the field and handed one to Priv. James 
Hobdey, of company " I," who done it honor through the 
day. At this time. Captain F. W. Fox, of General Veatch's 
Staff, took the front and called the 46th to follow him, when 

4 



50 

the regiment charged with cheer after cheer, until the field 
was theirs. In the last line iormed, about four o'clock, p. in., 
the brave and generous Lt. Moses R. Thompson fell mortally 
wounded. I cannot close this report without special men- 
tion of Assistant Surgeon Benj. II. Bradshaw. who, unassist- 
ed, took the wounded from amid the ranks, doing even more 
than his duty ; also the officers of the line, who were all at 
their posts, fearless of rebel power, and if honor has been 
won it is due to them and their brave men alone. Herewith 
is a report of the killed and wounded of my command. 
Very Respectfully, Your Ob't Serv't, 

JOHN J. JONES, 
Lieutenant Colonel Commanding 



Brig. Gen. Veatch in his report of the battle of the Hatchie, 
speaks in the highest terms of his Brigade. He says : 
" The field and staff officers of every regiment appeared to 
•" do all that could be done to render victory complete. The 
" line officers, so far as their conduct came within my notice, 
" did their whole duty, and the men moved with steadiness 
" and resolute courage not easily surpassed. The loss in 
" killed and wounded embraces many valuable officers. Col. 
" John A. Davis of the 46th Illinois infantry, fell severely 
" wounded early in the action while gallantly leading his 
" regiment in a charge. He has since died of his wounds. 
" He was generous, noble and brave, and will be regretted by 
" all who knew him." 



GENERAL VEATCH'S CONGRATULATORY ORDER. 

Headquarters 2nd Brigade 4th Division, 

Bolivar, Tenn., Oct. 9th, 1862. 
General Orders, ) 
No. 62. } 

The General desires to congratulate the troops of his com- 
mand on the brilliant victory of the battle of the Hatchie. 
On no field since the war began has better fighting been 
done. The force of the enemy greatly superior in numbers, 
were posted in the very strongest positions, and commanded 
by those veteran Generals Van Dorn and Price. You met 
them, you fought them, you drove them, you defeated and 
routed them, capturing a battery and hundreds of prisoners. 
You compelled them to seek shelter on the east side of the 
Hatchie. Here the 1st Baigade came to your support and 
with Hurlbut's fighting fourth Division united, you drove 
them again from their last stronghold and forced them to a 
hasty retreat. "While we rejoice in victory we regret the 
loss of many brave men. Let us honor the memory of our 



51 

fallen comrades, and transmit to their friends the story of their 
noble deeds. The wounded who survive will carry their bat- 
tle scars which will speak more eloquently for their bravery 
and daring ihan words can do. 

A battery of four field pieces captured by this brigade has 
been entrusted to your care by the Major General command- 
ing the Division. These pieces, manufactured in rebel work- 
shops, will be made to do service for the Union in the hands 
©f Bolton and Burnap. 

Officers and men of the 2d Brigade! I You have the con- 
fidence of your Generals, and the respect and esteem of all 
loyal citizens. Let your future good conduct maintain the 
high reputation you have gained. Remember that you 
belong to " Ilurlbut's Fighting Fourth Division ; " that what 
he commands you will obey; what he orders you will execute; 
where he leads you will follow with full confidence of honor 
and victory. 

By Order of Brig. Gen. James C Veatch : 

F. W. Fox, A. A. Gen'l. 



After the battle the regiment returned to its camp at Bol- 
ivar, Tenn. Col. John A. Davis and Lieutenant Moses R. 
Thompson died of their wounds on the 10th of October, and. 
their remains sent home for burial. Both were men of the 
highest worth and standing at home. Both entered the ser- 
vice with the purest motives, and both received their death 
wouuds while bravely and nobly fighting at their posts. 
Their memories will ever be kindly cherished. 

On the 3d of November, the regiment with the Brigade, 
marched to La Grange, Tenn., via Grand Junction, and went 
into the old camp at La Grange, where we remained till the 
28th of November, nothing noteworthy occurring excepting a 
few Grand Reviews. We then took up our line of march to 
Holly Springs, Miss., where we arrived on the night of the 
29th. November 30th marched south toward the Tallehat- 
chie River, and went into camp near Waterford, twelve miles 
south of Holly Springs. The enemy abandoned his works 
on the Tallehatchie and retreated towards Oxford. "We re- 
mained in camp, in an old cornfield, which became extremely 
muddy during the heavy rains, until the 9th of December, 
when we changed our camp to a fine wood two miles south, 
where it was almost universally supposed we should remain 
for the winter ; hence, on the 10th our grounds were put in 
splendid condition, tents pitched in line, chimneys built and 
our camp christened " Camp Hall," when suddenly all our 
plans were frustrated by an order to be ready to march at 
seven a. m., the next day. December 11th, marched twenty 
miles to Hurricane Creek, six miles from Oxford, and the 
next day eleven miles beyond Oxford to the vicinity of Yon- 
cona Station on the Mississippi Central R. R., where we re- 



52 

mained until December 22d, when we marched five miles to 
Taylor's Station on the same road. 

Van Dorn having captured Holly Springs and cut off oar 
communication, our forces marched north again on the 23d, 
through Oxford to Hurricane Creek, a distance of seventeen 
miles and arriving at noon. On the 24th the 46th Illinois 
and 33d Wisconsin Infantry, in command of Colonel Moore, 
left Hurricane Creek in charge of the corps train, arriving 
safe on the north side of the Tallehatchie late on the same 
night. We remained in this camp until the 26th of Decem- 
ber, making Christmas as merry as the means at our com- 
mand would permit, when we moved our camp four miles 
nearer Holly Springs, between Waterford and Wyatt Sta- 
tions on the Mississippi Central Railroad. 

Here the new year of 1863 was duly inaugurated with a 
feast, the best the country could afford, which was our whole 
dependence, as Uncle Sam's commissary had ceased to honor 
requisitions. The feast consisted of corn in all the varieties 
of style known to experienced camp cooks, except corn in 
the juice. However, the New Year's Day was not the least 
happy one. 

On the 6th of January, we marched to Holly Springs, 
where we remained to the 10th, when the 15th and 46th Ill- 
inois Infantry were ordered to escort the ammunition train 
to La Grange Term., at which place we arrived late on the 
night of the 11th of January. Our progress was very slow- 
and tedious on account of muddy roads and emaciated con- 
dition of the mules attached to the train. 

On the 13th of January, we marched to Moscow, Tenn-, 
nine miles west of La Grange. Remained at Moscow doing 
guard duty until February 5th, when we went to La Fayette, 
Tenn., eight miles west. The garrison at Moscow up to this 
time consisted of the 1st Brigade, 4th Division, and the 46th 
and 76th Illinois Infantry of the 2d Brigade, and two bat- 
teries. After re-joining the Brigade at La Fayette and per- 
forming similar duties as at Moscow until the 9th of March, 
we marched via Collierville and Germantown to Memphis, 
Tenn., arriving at the latter place on the 12th. We went 
into camp on the northeast side of the city, near the fair 
ground, which made quite an extensive as well as beautiful 
drill ground. 

On the 21st of April the 46th, 14th Illinois Infantry, and 
5th Ohio Battery were sent out to re-enforce Colonel Bryant 
of the 12th Wisconsin Infantry, who had gone in the direc- 
tion of Hernando, Miss., with a Brigade and met the enemy 
in force near Cold Water. He then moved his whole force 
again three miles south of Hernando and encamped for the 
night, as the cavalry had reported the enemy gone. Colonel 
Bryant had captured and sent to Memphis about seventy 
prisoners and a large lot of mules and horses. April 23d, 
commenced our return march to Memphis, where we arrived 
on the 24th, thoroughly drenched by a heavy rain. We met 



53 

■with no loss and the troops made the march in good time 
and in fine order. We remained in camp at Memphis until 
the 13th of May, when -we embarked on the Steamer " Clara 
Poe," and left the same evening for Vicksburg, Miss. Passed 
Helena on the morning of the 14th and Napoleon at six 
oi'clock p. m., same day. Private Gottlieb Vohmer, " C " Co. 
fell overboard during the night and was drowned. As we 
passed Gaines' Landing, Arkansas, the Steamer " Fort 
Wayne," with the 76th Illinois Intantry on board, was fired 
into by guerillas from the Arkansas shore. Three men 
were wounded and the boat disabled by running foul of 
some drift wood, breaking the wheel and rudder. We reached 
Young's Point, La., at 8 p. m., May 15th. Disembarked on 
the 16th and went into camp near the landing. At eleven 
o'clock a. in., on the 18th, we marched across the Point to 
Bower's Landing, below Vicksburg, leaving all our tents and 
baggage at Sherman's Landing. On the next day a portion 
of the Brigade embarked and went to Grand Gulf, but the 
46th and the two Batteries belonging to the Brigade were 
obliged to await the return of the transports that had taken 
the other troops. Before their return, however, orders were 
received by us to return at once to Sherman's Landing, as 
General Grant had opened communication via the Yazoo 
Kiver to the troops in the rear of Vicksburg. Arrived at 
Sherman's Landing on the night of the 19th, and at noon on 
the 20th embarked on the Steamer " Luminary," and pro- 
ceeded up the Yazoo river to Chickasaw Bayou. Disembark- 
ed and moved three miles in a southeasterly direction across 
the swamps to the bluff. 

On the 21st of May the balance of the Brigade joined us 
and proceeded to the right of Gen. Grant's lines about the 
city. We were at once ordered to Snyder's Bluffs on the 
Yazoo river, ten miles from Vicksburg. Went into camp at 
the Bluffs on the same evening, much disappointed that we 
were not permitted to enter the line of attack. The object 
of sending us to this place was to watch a large rebel force 
said to be advancing to form a junction with the Vicksburg 
garrison. 

On the 24th of May we marched in the direction of Vicks- 
burg on the Benton road. The road was extremely dry and 
dusty and the weather very warm, making it a very hard 
march. On the 25th we marched to the extreme left of our 
lines near the Mississippi river, below Vicksburg, and relieved 
Gen. McArthur's Division. The regiment was detailed for 
picket duty, and during the night one wing was surrounded 
and one hundred and thirteen officers and men captured by 
the enemy. The particulars of the capture are set forth in 
4he following reports, viz :

Headquarters 46th III. Vol. Infantry. 

In the Field, June 7th, 1863. 
S. P. Bourquin, 

A. A. A. General : 

Lieutenant : — In compliance with orders from Division 
Headquarters, with reference to a capture of a portion of the- 
46th Illinois Infantry, I have the honor to report that on the 
afternoon of the 25th ot May, the regiment was detailed to 
relieve the 63d Illinois Infantry on picket duty. At 4 o'clock 
p. m., the regiment reported at Brigade Headquarters, but 
owing to unavoidable difficulties the regiment was not fully 
posted until after 7 o'clock p. m. Five componies — a poi*- 
tion of which wei*e captured — were posted by Lieut. Col. 
John J. Jones of my regiment, under the guidance of the 
Major of the 63d Illinois Infantry, and upon the same ground 
in the same manner that the 63d was posted at the time we 
relieved them, which line extended from and near a cotton 
gin on the Warrenton road westward to a swamp which we 
supposed and had been informed was impassable. The other 
portion of the regiment was posted from the Warrenton road 
eastward to the pickets of thy 1st Brigade by myself, but 
owing to the lateness of the hour when I arrived at the cen- 
ter of our lines, and having implicit confidence in the ability 
and skill of Lieut. Col. Jones and other officers on that por- 
tion of the line, I deemed it entirely unnecessary to visit it. 
The first alarm occurred at about half past nine o'clock p. m. 
I heard several sharp volleys of musketry. I immediately 
strengthened the several posts nearest the point of alarm, 
and proceeded in person to the point from whence the alarm 
came, to discover, if possible, the cause. I had gone but a 
short distance when I discovered a body of troops moving 
rapidly along a skirt of timber towards the river, which 
proved to be rebel soldiers. Owing to the extended line of 
picketg, I had only men enough to hold that portion of the 
line east of the Warienton road. Unable to hear anything 
from the pickets on the west side of the road, and fearing 
some disaster had befallen them, I immediately deployed 
skirmishers along the Warrenton road, which afforded them 
a full view of the ground between it and the river bluff, in 
order to guard against a flank movement of the enemy with 
a view to cut us off and capture us. At the earliest oppor- 
tunity, I notified the Brigade commanders, Col. Hall and 
Col. McGowan, commanding a Brigade in Gen. MeArthur's 
Division, who both rendered mo prompt assistance. For 
more full and complete particulars, I refer you to the reports 
of officers of my command enclosed herewith. 

As to the degree of vigilance exercised by the officers and 
men of my command, I can only speak of those under my 
own control, which met with my entire approbation, and 
from the known character of the officers in charge of the 
captured portion of the regiment, with possibly one excep- 



55 

tion, which I have not yet sufficient information to report. 
I believe the disaster to be more attributable to an injudic- 
ious posting of the pickets than to a lack of vigilance. 
Very Respectfully, Your Ob't Sv't. 

B. DORNBLASER, Col. Comd'g Reg't. 



The remainder of the regiment took a very active part in 
the siege of Vicksburg, from the 25th of May until its sur- 
render on the 4th of July, doing picket duty both in the 
front and rear, digging trenches, &c, &c. 

The 4th of July will be kept in sacred remembrance by all 
who took part in the famous siege of Vicksburg. 

On the afternoon of July 4th, orders were received to keep 
our men in camp and prepare for a march, Next morning 
the Division left camp and proceeded to Clear Creek, twelve 
miles east of Vicksburg on the Vicksburg and Jackson rail- 
road. The day was extremely warm and the roads very 
dusty. July 6th, marched through Edward's Station to near 
Bolton's Station, twenty miles. We marched part of the 
night until the rainstorm made the roads impassable, which, 
with the extreme darkness, rendered further progress out of 
the question. The only shelter we had from the driving 
storm was a rail fence, which afforded both warmth and 
shelter. July 7th, marched three miles and encamped until 
dusk, then resumed our march in the rear of the corps train 
until twelve o'clock and bivouacked until morning. July 
8th, marched to Clinton, and on the 9th the Brigade was de- 
tailed to guard the train to Jackson, Miss. Marched six 
miles and parked the train on Dickson's plantation, where 
we remained in charge of the train until the afternoon of the 
12th, when we were ordered to proceed to Jackson and re- 
port for orders to Gen. A. P. Hovey, Gen. Lauman having 
been relieved of the command of the 4th Division after mak- 
ing his disasterous charge upon the enemies works. 

The 46th Illinois Infantry was posted on the extreme right 
of our line, near Pearl river south of Jackson. Earthworks 
were thrown up in front of the regiment and a battery placed 
in position to command both front and flank. Our 4th Div- 
ision was temporarily assigned to the 12th Division 13th 
Army Corps, commanded by Gen. A. P. Hovey. The siege 
was actively carried on from the 12th to the 16th of July, 
when the enemy evacuated the place. The regiment did its 
full share of the work.

'COL. HALL'S EEPOET OF THE SECOND BRIGADE. 

Headquarters 4th Brigade 12th Division. 

Jackson, Miss., July, 1863. 
Captain Philips : 

A. A. Gen'l., 12th Division, 13th Army Corps. 

Captain : — I have the honor to report to you the part taken 
by my command, consisting of the 14th, 15th, 46th and 76th 
Illinois Infantry, Co. "K," 2d Illinois Artillery, and 4th Ohio 
Battery, before the fortified city of Jackson. 

Late on the p. m. of the 12th instant, whilst encamped at 
Dickson's plantation five miles west of Jackson, I received 
orders from Major General E. O. C. Ord, commanding 13th 
Army Corps, directing me to report to Brig. Gen. A. P. Ho- 
vey, commanding 12th Division 13th Army Corps, for orders, 
which order I obeyed as speedily as possible, arriving at Gen. 
Hovey's Headquarters at nine o'clock p. m. At 4 o'clock a. 
m., I put the column in motion and took a position on a 
ridge on the east side of the New Orleans and Jackson rail- 
road, which position we immediately proceeded to entrench 
and put in the best possible state of defense. 

On the morning of the 15th, I was ordered by Gen. Hovey 
to send scouts from my right east to Pearl River, which duty 
was performed by 2d Lieut. Reed and six men from company 
" I," 15th Illinois Infantry, in a very able and satisfactory 
manner, finding the enemy in force on the east side, with one 
company on the west side as pickets. After making known 
to Gen. Hovey the disposition of the enemy's force, I was 
ordered to take the 15th, 46th and 76th Illinois Infantry and 
make a rapid move on the enemy at the river. The move 
was made with great rapidity, but not sufficiently so as to 
overtake the enemy. We reached the river just in time to 
see the last of their pickets pass out of sight on the opposite 
bank. 

On the morning of the 16th it became apparent to some of 
the officers of my command that the enemy was evacuating 
Jacksou, which fact I at once communicated to Gen. Hovey, 
it being the first intimation he had of it. 

The spirit manifested by both officers and men during the 
short siege was highly commendable, obeying with alacrity 
every order, and executing the work assigned them with 
zeal and enthusiasm. To Col. B. Dornblaser and Capt. R. P. 
McKnight, A. A. G. of this Brigade, I am particularly indebt- 
ed for valuable information obtained by reconoitering the 
enemy's works. 

Respectfully your Obedient Servant, 

CYRUS HALL. 
Colonel Commanding Brigade. 



On the night of the 16th of July, the rebels evacuated the 



57 

town and retreated rapidly toward Meridian, leaving us to 
take quiet possession on the 17th. After pursuing the en- 
emy and destroying the railroad and other public property 
in and about Jackson, the troops commenced their return 
march on the 21st, via Kaymond and Big Black Bridge to 
Vicksburg, where we arrived at one p. m. on the 23d, hav- 
ing marched over fifty miles in two days and a half, through 
terrible heat and dust. 

The Division was again detached from the 12th Division, 
and placed in command of Brig. Gen. M. M. Crocker, and 
soon after transferred to the 17th Army Corps by General 
Orders No. 214, Department Headquarters. August 11th, 
1863, embai-ked on Steamer ' ; Rocket," and left on the morn- 
ing of the 12th for Natchez, Miss., where we arrived the next 
morning. The regiment at onco disembarked and went into 
camp one and a halt miles from the city, northeast, where it 
remained doing camp and garrison duty until September 1st, 
when it started out with the Division on an expedition into 
Louisiana. The following is a report of the same : 



REPORT OF EXPEDITION INTO LOUISIANA. 

Headquartern 46th III. Inft'y Vols. 

Natchez, Miss., Sept. 8th, 1863. 
Captain R. P. McKnight, 

A. A. Genl 2d Brig. Uh Div. 17th Army Corps. 
Captain : — I have the honor to report that the regiment 
left this camp at 12 m., September 1st, and marched with the 
Brigade, in the place assigned it by your order, to the Mis- 
sissippi river at Natchez. Crossed over in transports and en- 
camped for the night at Vidalia, La. Early on the 2d it took 
up its line of march at the Head of the Brigade, and marched 
sixteen miles to the west side of Cross Bayou, going into 
camp at sundown. On the 3d, marched to Trinity on the 
Washita river twelve miles, arriving there a little past noon. 
By your order the 46th and 76th Illinois Infantry, both un- 
der my command, were left at this place to guard the trains 
and ferry, whilst the balance of the force proceeded to Har- 
risonburg, La. Upon your return on the 5th, the regiment 
was ordered to escort a part of the artillery and Brigade 
train to Cross Bayou, ferry the same across and select the 
camp for the night for the Brigade ; all of which was safely 
accomplished by eight o'clock p. m. 

On the 6th the regiment marched with the Brigade to Vi- 
dalia, crossed the river and arrived in this camp at five 
o'clock p. m. The march was made without los or incident 
worthy of special note. The officers and men of my com- 
mand acquitted themselves as good soldiers throughout. 
I am, Captain, very Respectfully, 
. , B. DORNBLASER, 

Col. Commanding Regiment. 



58 

The regiment immediately resumed its usual routine of 
camp and picket duty, interspersed with prize inspections 
and drills, together with occassional reviews by our command- 
ing General and distinguished military visitors, which made 
our stay at the beautiful city of Natchez both pleasant and 
profitable. 

On the 10th of November the regiment embarked for 
Vicksburg, where we arrived on the evening of the 11th ; dis- 
embarked and bivouacked on the levee for ihe night and the 
next day located our camp near the Vicksburg cemetery. 
We had to occupy old camps, covered with all kinds of filth 
and rubbish, and only sufficiently large to accomodate a half 
a regiment comfortably. However, our stay in this camp, 
fortunately, was not of long duration. 

On the 28th of November we moved camp to Camp Cow- 
an, near Clear Creek, nine miles from Vicksburg. Here the 
construction of comfortable log barracks was immediately 
commenced and soon completed, making it one of the most 
pleasant and comfortable camps it has ever been our good 
fortune to occupy. 

About the time our barracks were completed General Or- 
ders No. 191, A. G. O , Washington, D. O, relating to re-en- 
listing Veteran Volunteers was received. Vigerous measures 
were at once adopted by the officers of the regiment to re- 
enlist the same as a veteran regiment. The enlisted men 
came forward with great unanimity and promptness. On 
the 4th of January, 1864, three-fourths of the regiment was 
mustered into the service of the United States for three 
years or during the war, by Lieut. C. W. G. Hyde, A. C. M., 
4th Division, 17th Army Corps, and on the tenth of January 
Gen. McPherson ordered the regiment to proceed to Vicks- 
burg and embark on the Steamer " Planet," then awaiting us. 

On the evening of the 11th the regiment was paid by Ma- 
jor Stewart on board of the boat, and the next day at nine 
and a half o'clock a. m., the regiment, numbering twenty of- 
ficers and three hundred and thirty-four enlisted men, left 
Vicksburg for the North to enjoy a thirty days' furlough and 
to fill up the regiment if possible. 

The river as far up as Napoleon, Arkansas, was full of float- 
ing ice, which greatly impeded our progress. We passed 
Napoleon at six o'clock a. m. of the 15th, Helena at two 
o'clock and fifteen minutes on the 16th, arriving at Memphis 
on the same evening at nine o'clock. Left Memphis on the 
17th at six o'clock p. m., and arrived at Cairo, Illinois, on the 
20th at 11 o'clock a. m. Col. Dornblaser at once telegraphed 
to Col. Allen C. Fuller, Adjutant General, at Springfield, Ill- 
inois, who ordered us to proceed direct io Freeport, Illinois, 
as our place of rendezvous. 

By reason of want of railroad transportation, the regiment 
was obliged to remain on the boat until noon of the 22d, 
when it proceeded by special train on the Illinois Central R. 
R. to Freeport, Illinois, where it arrived at half past twelve 



59 

o'clock p. m. on the 23d of January. The citizens of Free- 
port and vicinity gave the regiment a most hearty and en- 
thusiastic reception, which will ever be remembered grate : 
fully by every officer and soldier in the 46th. 

After marching through some of the principal streets of 
the city, and listening to some eloquent welcoming speeches, 
the regiment stacked arms in the streets and entered Plym- 
outh Hall, where a most sumptuous repast awaited them, 
prepared by the fair ladies of Freeport and vicinity. When 
the boys appetites were appeased they again fell into line 
and marched to the barracks on the tair ground one mile 
west of the city. 

Adjutant Woodbury had gone direct to Springfield from 
Cairo to procure the furloughs for the men. He arrived at 
Freeport on the 26th and on the 27th the whole regiment 
was furloughed for thirty days, when it would again assem- 
ble at Camp Freeport. 

Eecruiting stations were established and recruiting officers 
appointed in Lee, Ogle, Whiteside and Stephenson Counties, 
and the work of filling up the regiment vigorously commenced 
with flattering prospects of success. 

The regiment has thus far made a name for itself of which 
it feels proud, and the noblo State in which it in part rep- 
resents has never been dishonored by it. When it again re- 
turns to the field with full ranks, it will doubtless add still 
brighter lustre to its name, and continue as heretofore to be 
an honor to the Stete. 



PART SECOND. 



63 



From the 27th of January till the 1st of March, the officers 
and men of the regiment vied with each other in laudable ef- 
forts to fill up the same. The nine old companies were most- 
ly filled up, and Capt. Crane of Freeport, Illinois, had re- 
cruited and organized a new company (" D,") for the reg- 
iment by authority of the War Department. 

On the 2d day of March the regiment lefc Freeport with 
an aggregate of 987 men, and proceeded to Cairo, Illinois, by 
rail, thence to Vicksburg, Miss., by boat; thence to Camp 
Hebron, ten miles east from Vicksburg, and re-joined the 2d 
Brigade 4th Division, 17th Army Corps. From March 10th 
until April 5th, the regiment was vigorously drilled and fitted 
for active service in the field. On the latter date the Brig- 
ade marched to Big Black Bridge, twelve miles east from 
Vicksburg, and reported to Brig. Gen. E. S. Dennis, com- 
manding. April 25th the regiment moved by rail to Vicks- 
burg, and encamped near Battery Ransom, northeast of the 
city, doing garrison duty. May 4th we started on an expe- 
dition to Benton and Yazoo City, Miss., commanded by Brig. 
Gen. John McArthur, and returned to camp at Vicksburg on 
the 21st of May.. 



REPORT OF THE EXPEDITION. 

Headq'rs 1st Brigade Yazoo Expedition, 

Vicksburg, Miss,, May 22d, 1864. 
Captain W. F. Randall: 

Assistant Adjutant General. 

Captain : — I have the honor to submit the following report 
of the part taken by this Brigade in the Yazoo expedition : 

At five o'clock a. m. of the 4th inst., the 1st Brigade, con- 
sisting of the 46th Illinois Infantry, Lieut. Col. John J. Jones 
commanding, and the 76th Illinois Infantry, Col. Samuel T. 
Busey commanding, left camp and proceeded via Jackson 
road to Hebron. Mechanicsville and Benton, which we reached 
on the 7th. The enemy seemed disposed to dispute our pos- 
session of the place. The 1st Brigade marching in the rear 
was ordered up, leaving two companies with the train, and 
formed by your order in a field east of the town and in the 
rear of the 124th Illinois Infantry of the 2d Brigade. The 
enemy, however, soon fled before our advance and left our 
troops in quiet possession of the place. 

On the morning of the 8th General McArthur went to 
Yazoo city to communicate with General Slocum at Vicks- 
burg, leaving me in command during his absence. At about 



64 

two o'clock p. m. of the 9th, a scout reported the enemy ad- 
vancing in large force on the Lexington road. I at once 
formed my Brigade and Boltons Battery on that road and 
requested Col. Coats of the 2d Brigade to form iton the Can- 
ton road, which was promptly done. Major Mumford with 
his 5th Illinois Cavalry dismounted, passed around my left, 
deployed as skirmishers and drove the enemy across to the 
old Lexington road, from which a few well directed shots 
from Bolton's Battery drove them pell mell into the timber 
beyond the field. Major Cook of the 3d U. S. Cavalry, (col- 
ored) with a portion of his command, also drove to the shel- 
ter of the woods a small force of the enemy who were ad- 
vancing via Pickett's plantation towards the right of my 
Brigade. After posting a strong picket, I ordered the troops 
to camp. 

On the morning of the 12th, I was ordered by General 
licArthur to remain at Benton to guard the approaches by 
the Lexington road with the 1st Brigade and one section of 
Bolton's Battery, whilst he with the other troops went to 
Moore's Ferry, on the Big Black, via the Canton road, on a 
reconnoisance, returning the same day. At five o'clock a. m, 
on the 13th, the expedition started for Vaughan's Station on 
the Mississippi Central Railroad, the 1st Brigade in the ad- 
vance. The cavalry advance encountered the enemy at 
Luce's plantation, five miles southeast from Benton. I or- 
dered the 76th Illinois forward to support a section of artil- 
lery commanded by Lieut. Nichols, who, together with a line 
of skirmishers from the 76th Illinois Infantr} 7 , drove the en- 
emy from their position. The column then moved forward 
in its regular order of march along the road about one and a 
half miles, when the enemy was again found posted in a 
strong position with three pieces of artillerj'. I at once 
pushed my Brigade forward to an open field, forming the 
76th on the left and the 46th Illinois Infantry on the right of 
the road, throwing forward two companies each as skirmish- 
ers, while at the same time Lieut. Nichols, with a section of 
artillery posted on the right of the road near the timber, 
opened a vigorous and well directed fire upon the rebels' bat- 
tery, which was soon silenced and compelled to retreat. I 
then moved forward in line of battle with skirmishers well 
advanced — expecting to encounter the enemy at any mo- 
ment — fully a mile to the plantation houses where I halted 
to await orders. The General commanding, finding the en- 
emy gone, permitted the troops to rest and refresh thom- 
selves after their weary march. 

After a halt of an hour and a half, the column again moved 
forward to within two miles of Vaughan's Station and en- 
camped for the night, the enemy making but a feeble resist- 
ance to our advance. On the 14th we moved via Decenville 
to Benton, and on the 15th to Yazoo City, w T here we remain- 
ed until the morning of the 18th, when we proceeded via 
Liverpool, Sartatia and Haine's Bluffs to camp at Vicksburg, 



65 

where we arrived at ten o'clock a. m., having marched ovei 
two hundred miles. 

The only casualty I have to report in my command, is that 
of Sergeant Eells, company '■ D," 46th Illinois Infantry, who 
was killed on the morning of the 14th while acting as a 
scout, tor which he was well suited, and in which capacity 
he had rendered much valuable service. 

Although the march was a long one and rendered wear- 
isome by the heat and dust, but very few complaints wore 
heard, and whenever a fight was expected every man was? 
found in his place ready and eager for the fray. 

The officers ot this command, including my personal staff, 
are entitled to great praise for the able and prompt discharge 
of every duty devolving upon them. 
I have the honor to be, Sir, 

Very Respectfully, your Obe't Serv't, 

B. DORNBLASER, 
Colonel Commanding Brigade. 



The regiment remained quietly in camp, drilling and per- 
forming picket and camp duty until the 1st of July, when it 
went, out with another expedition, commanded by Major 
General Slocum. 



REPORT OF THE JACKSON EXPEDITION. 

Headquarters 2nd Brig. 4th Div., 17th A. C, 
Vicksburg, Miss., July 13, 1865. 
Capt. W. E. Kuhn. 

A. A. A. Gen'l, 1st Div., YlthA. C. 

Captain : — I have the honor to submit the following report 
of the part taken by this Brigade in the late expedition to 
Jackson, Mi^s., and return. 

In compliance with orders from Brig. Gen. E. S. Dennis 5 
commanding 1st Division, the Brigade consisting of the 46tb 
Illinois Infantry, Lieutenant Col. Jones commanding, and 
the 76th Illinois Infantry, Col. Samuel T. Busey command- 
ing, left camp at 3 A. M. on 1st instant, and proceeded to Big 
Black Bridge, where we had to await supplies and the build- 
ing of a pontoon bridge across Big Black. Left Big Black 
on the morning of the third, and reached Clinton on the 4tb 
inst. at noon, meeting with but little opposition from the 
enemy. During the afternoon quite a large force of rebels 
took a position about one and a half miles east of Clinton, 
on the Jackson road, and made several sallies on the pickets. 

Early on the morning of the 5th inst., the enemy was 
encountered bv the advance, and driven back to within three 

5 



and si half miles of Jackson, when they made m stand, using 
several pieces of artillery with great skill and accuracy. 
The 76th and five companies of the 11th Illinois Infantry 
guarded the train. Col. Coates moved his Brigade by a cir- 
cutous route to the left to gain the enemies flank. At the 
same time, by Gen. Slocum's order, 1 moved the 46th and 
four pieces of artillery commanded by Lieut. Moore through 
a. thick belt of timber, on the left of the Jackson road, 
-thereby gaining a commanding position, and by a few well 
directed shots from the Battery, drove what was left of the 
■enemy, from the ground. I advanced with the force at my 
seommand and occupied the rebel position without further 
opposition. After resting several hours to enable the other 
•troops to come up, the Brigade marched into Jackson in 
^splendid order and encamped on the south side of the city. 

At four P. M. of the 6th, the troops left Jackson on the 
>«ame road they came ; the cavalry in advance followed by 
•this Brigade. Near the Junction of the Clinton and Canton 
■voads, three miles from Jackson, and near where the enemy 
was posted the day before, they were discovered advancing 
An heavy force, evidently with the intention of gaining a 
^position to prevent us leaving by this route. Major Mumford 
with his cavalry attacked them with great spirit, and held 
-them in check until this Brigade could be brought up to his 
(•support. Forming the 46th Illinois Infantry on the right of 
the Canton road, and the 76th Illinois Infantry on the left, 
with Lieut. Nichols' section of Artillery in the center, 1 
^advanced under a heavy fire about a half a mile. Here Lt. 
Nichols posted his section, supported by the?6th and opened 
,a vigorous fire upon the enemy ; while the 46th moved for- 
ward and took a position on a hill farther in advance, and 
within short range of the enemy's line. A brisk fire was 
kept up on both sides until darkness closed the work. During 
the engagement Capt. Clingrnan of A Co., 46th Illinois 
infantry, was severely wounded through the left arm. 
Lieut. Moore made repeated attempts to plant his section of 
Artillery in advance near the 46th, but found every promi- 
nent point so completely commanded by the sharp-shooters, 
that he was compelled reluctantly to withdraw. After post- 
ing a strong picket, I ordered the Brigade back to a less 
exposed position and encamped for the night. 

Next morning at four o'clock, by order of Major Gen. 
•Slocum I moved the Brigade across a field in a Northwesterly 
direction to take possession of a house held by the enemy on 
.the previous evening, to enable our train to pass out on the 
Clinton road. The leading Begiment, the 76th Illinois, had 
advanced but a short distance beyond our position of the 
previous evening when it was brought to a stand by a heavy 
force of the enemy strongly posted in a ditch dehind a hedge, 
^from whence they poured into our ranks a murderous fire. 
Finding that the enemy's front extended beyond either flank, 
3 formed the 46th on the right of the 76th and advanced a 



67 

3ine of skirmishers along my whole front. In this position 
with Lieut. Moore's section of Artillery in rear of the 76th 
Illinois Infantry, the Brigade kept the enemy fully engaged 
over two hours, until the train had safely passed. 

The 8th Illinois Infantry, posted a short distance on the 
left of this Brigade received orders and had moved out to 
follow the train before 1 had received a similar order, which 
enabled the enemy to throw a large force on our left. The 
76th moved off by the left flank under shelter of a rail fence 
-which at the same time concealed the enemy. With great 

fresence of mind, Lieut. Col. C. C. Jones of the 76lh Illinois 
nfantry ordered his men to fire on them as soon as their 
position was discovered, and drove them back in confusion. 
The 46th changed its front and charged across the field under 
a heavy fire of artillery and musketry to the shelter of the 
woods, and then marched out upon the road to the next hill, 
where they were Again vigorously shelled by the enemy. 
The 76th after repulsing the enemy moved directly to the 
road exposed toheav} r fire, and soon after joined the Brigade. 

The column moved forward with but little further oppo- 
sition, until within about two miles of Clinton, where the 
-enemy charged our rear and were repulsed with great loss, 
Jjy the 11th Illinois Infantry, commanded by Capt. Vore and 
Lieut. More's section of Artillery. The 46th was ordered to 
support the lKh, but reached the ground only in time to fire 
a volley after the retreating foe. The 46th Illinois then 
relieved the 11th as rear guard, which position it held alter- 
nately with the 76th and 8th Illinois Infantry during the day. 
The enemy were seen several times during the day drawn up 
in line, but they evidently thought " discretion the better 
part of valor," and wisely kept out of range. 

We arrived in camp at Vicksburg on the 9th without fur- 
ther annoyance. 

It is with pride and pleasure that I refer to the conduct of 
the officers and soldiers of my command, many of whom 
were for the first time under fire. Not one left the ranks or 
flinched from duty during the engagement, unless compelled 
to do so from wounds or exhaustion. It is enough to say of 
them that every man did his whole duty. The field and 
line officers were all at their posts and did their duty so well 
that a few cannot be mentioned without doing manifest in- 
jury to the others. 

To Lieut. Col. Sheetz and his noble regiment, the 8th Illi- 
nois Infantry, I am under great obligations for relieving my 
regiments as rear guards, after they had become so completely 
exhausted from long continued fighting and marching as to 
toe almost unable to proceed further. Lieuts. Moore and 
Nichols of Bolton's Battery, are deserving of much credit for 
the able manner in which they handled their respectixe sec- 
tions while with this Brigade. 

Of my personal staff, Lieuts. Woodbury, Arnold, Hughes 
and Seizicks, 1 cannot speak in too high terms of praise. 



Prompt in the discharge of every duty, fearless of danger, 
they communicated every order with such coolness and pre- 
cision that they could not fail to be understood. 

The list of casualties in this Brigade has been forwarded. 
Ver}^ Respectfully your Obe't Servt, 

B. DOUNBLASER. 
Colonel Commanding Brigade, 



The casualties in the regiment were as follows, viz : Killed, 
three; wounded, thirty-six; captured, one : missing, three ; 
total loss, iorty-five. Our wounded received but little care 
until our arrival at Big , Black. Here their wounds were 
carefully dressed and every attention possible given to them. 
During the night of the 8th of July the sick and wounded 
were removed to the hospital at Vicksburg, and on the 9th 
the troops marched to their camps in the city. 

The wounded of the command that fell into the hands of 
the enemy were very kindly treated, so much so that it was 
spoken of in the highest terms of praise by the wounded 
men, and as soon as they were able an amicable exchange of 
prisoners was appointed. The ceremoney of exchange took 
place just outside the old fortifications of the city and was 
the ocaasion of much good feeling among the prisoners. 

July 21st Maj. Gen- B'air's General Order No. 5 was re- 
ceived, organizing the 1st Division, 17th Army Corps, the 2d 
Brigade of which was composed of the 11th, 46th and 76th 
regiments of Illinois Infantry, and Col. Dornblaser of the 
46th placed in command. 

July 29th the 46th, together with the 76th Illinois Infantry, 
embarked on board the Steamer "Adams "and proceeded 
down the Mississippi river to Morganza Bend, La. The Div- 
ision encamped on the river bank and constructed shades 
and arbors for shelter from the burning sun. Drill and picket 
was the order, the latter of which was a very nece sary as 
well as a rather delicate duty at times, from the fact that the 
enemy made frequent raids upon our picket lines from their 
camps on the Atchafalaya. 

,.. On the night of the 8th of August, Lieut. Col. Jones and 
two hundred men of the 46th went out on a scout and cap- 
tured twelve gay and festive rebels who, not dreaming of 
danger, fell asleep and into the hands of the blue coats, and 
were brought into camp on the Oth. 

On the 13th of August, General Canby's order No. 93 was 
promulgated, assigning the regiment to the 1st Brigade, 2d 
Division, 19th Army Corps. The Brigade to consist of the 
8th, 11th, 46t,h and 76th regiments of Illinois infantry, and 
the 7th and 30th Missouri Infantry, and to be commanded 
by Col. B. Dornblaser of the 46th Illinois Infantry, General 
Dennis to. command the Division, and General Reynolds the

Captain W. E. Kuhn, 

A. A. A. Gen. 2d Div., 19th Army Corps. 

Captain : — I have the honor to report that in compliance 
with orders, this Brigade embarked on Steamers on the 
night of the 23d iust., and proceeded to Port Hudson, La., 
where it disembarked. On the evening of the 24th instant, 
at live o'clock p. m., the column moved out in the direction 
of Clinton, La., the 1st Brigade in " advance, supplied with 
five days rations and one ammunition wagon to each reg- 
iment. The command marched all night, only resting at in- 
tervals to enable the column to close up, and arrived at Clin- 
ton at noon of the 25th. Small scouting parties of the en- 
emy only were encountered, who fled at our approach. 

The troops rested until four o'clock p. m. of the 26th, when 
the return march was commenced, arriving at Port Hudson 
on the morning of the 28th and Morganza on the morning of 
the 29th. 

Port Hudson is distant twenty-five miles from here, and 
from Port Hudson to Clinton the same. The march was a 
veiy hard one and the losses sustained by the Brigade were 
caused principally by men becoming exhausted by the way 
and being captured by the enemy, who followed in our rear. 
The following are the losses of the Brigade : 11th Illinois, 
three missing; 46th Illinois, two missing; 76th Illinois, one 
missing; 30th Missouri, two missing. 

Eespectfullv your Obed't Serv't. 

B. BORNBLASEB, 
Colonel Commanding Brigade. 



Orders were received September 2d to embark early on 
the morning of the 3d, with all the camp and garrison equip- 
page of the command, Left Morganza at four a. m. on ihe 
4th ; proceeded up the river and arrived at the mouth of 
White River, Ark., without incident of note, on the 8th of 
September, and went into camp on a large cotton plantation. 
Tne ground was speedily cleared of the luxuriant cotton 
plant and the camp fitted up in splendid style. 

On the 13th of September Chaplain Lewis started with the 



70 

non-veterans of A, B and C, whose term of service had ex- 
pired. They were to proceed to- Springfield, Illinois,, to be 
mustered out of service. 

The only incident worthy of note occurring during the 
stay of the regiment at the Mouth of White Iliver,. was a 
tremendous storm of wind and rain on the night of the 28th r 
which leveled every tent and flooded the camp with water. 
The sudden waking up of over two thousand men to find 
their frail shelters swept away and themselves drenched to 
the skin by the pouring rain, caused a conglomeration of 
the most hideous and ludricious sounds ever heard or made 
by man. While some were making frantic yet vain effort* 
to hold up their tents against the storm, others — and many 
officers of both high and low degree — could be seen by the 
vivid lightning's glare, " scudding under bare poles " from 
one demolished shelter to another, doomed to a similar fate. 
A company of men in one portion of the camp would hurrah 
for McClellan which would be answered from another portion 
by the shout of a whole regiment for Lincoln. A cheer for 
Valandigham or Jeff Davis would be answered by a whole 
Brigade with curses and groans. Slang phrases, such as 
■ l here's your mule," &c, &c, were the common utterances of' 
those in busy search of lost clothing, tents and baggage. 
The incidents of the night furnished a rich theme for ludic- 
rous comment and laughter, which served to while away 
many tedious hours in camp. 

A short distance from camp were numerous ponds or lakes 
containing large quantities of fine fish, the catching of which 
furnished much sport. The modus operandi of catching them 
was novel. Twenty or thirty soldiers would divest them- 
selves of their clothing, arm themselves with clubs of about 
four feet in length, form a skirmish line across one end of 
the lake and advance, beating the water and thus drive the 
fish hefore them into the shallow water at the other end of 
the lake, then woe to the unluck} T fish that would show hi& 
head, his fate would be sure to be sealed by a blow from a 
club. In the excitement of the chase many a blow aimed at 
the head of a fish would descend on the head or back of some 
unlucky biped of an entirely different species. Such accidents 
would call forth peals of laughter and the injured party 
would pass it off in the most philosophical good humor. 

On the 6th of October the 1st Brigade, 3d Division, 19th 
Army Corps, and the 46th Illinois Infantry, all under the- 
command of Lieut. Col. Jones of the 46th, were ordered to 
embark, to proceed to Duvall's Bluff, Arkansas. They left 
the mouth of White River at sunrise, October 7th, and ar- 
rived at Duvall's Bluff on the 9th. The regiment went into 
camp south of the Landing and commenced building log 
barracks which they soon completed. The regiment was 
highly complimented by General C. C. Andrews commanding^ 
Post, for its skill and energy in building such neat and com- 
fortable barrack& in so short a time. At this place the reg- 



71 

iment also did much fatigue duty on the fortifications, which 1 
were extensive and incomplete. The wet Aveather and pe- 
culiar character of the soil made their duty very arduous.. 
As an offset for this, however, the large number of deer on 
the prairies near by afforded profitable amusement for the 
sportsmen of the command, who brought in five or six fine 
deer every day they went out, and one day fourteen were 
killed and brought into the regiment. 

The fine barracks built by the regiment had to be given- 
up, as orders were received on the 27th of November to em- 
bark on transports for Memphis, Tenn. Left Duvall's Bluff 
at one o'clock p. m., of the 28th, and arrived at the mouth of 
White River at three o'clock, p. m. of the 29th, and Memphis 
on the 1st of December at six o'clock, p. m. 

"While coming down White River, Arkansas, on the 28th a- 
party of guerillas fired on the boat and wounded three men, 
none severely. The fire was quickly returned by the reg- 
iment. On the same night Thomas Walbridge, a Private of 
company " K," fell overboard and was drowned. His body 
could not be recovered. 

At Memphis the regiment went into camp on the Pigeon- 
Roost road, just east of the cit}-. While at this camp all the 
non-veteran soldiers of H, E. I. K and F, were mustered out 
of the service, together with Major McCracken, Captain 
Hughes, Stewart, Wakefield, Reitzell, and Lieutenants Terry. 
Shaw and McKibben. 

The command suffered here from cold by reason of shelter, 
tents and scarcity of timber and fuel. The tents were np 
protection against cold, and the want of timber or lumber 
prevented the men from building comfortable huts or barracks. 

On the 12th of December orders from General Canby were 
received re-organizing the troops of the 19th army corps into 
the Reserve Corps, Military Division of West Mississippi. 
The 2d Brigade, which was composed of the 8th, 11th, 46th 
and 76th regiments of Illinois Infantry, and the 23d Wiscon- 
sin and 30th Missouri regiments Infantry, was commanded 
by Brig. Gen. E. S. Dennis. 

Early on the morning of the 21st of December an expedi- 
tion started out, commanded by Brig. Gen. Lawler, going in 
the direction of La Grange, Tenn. The 8th, 11th and 46th 
Illinois Infantry, commanded by Colonel Dornblaser of the 
46th, was accompanied by two other small brigades and 
marched the first day to Germantown, second to Moscow, 
and third to Wolf River near Moscow, Tenn., where we re- 
mained until early on the morning of the 26th of December, 
when the return march to Memphis was commenced. Col. 
Kent's Brigade marched to Collierville and encamped. Col. 
Dornblaser's Brigade encamped three miles west of Colliers- 
ville on the Bailey plantation, and Col. Green's Brigade at 
Germantown and White's Station. This disposition of troops 
was made with a view to guard the railroad, which had been 
repaired from Memphis to Colliersville, against the numerous 



72 

bands of guerilla parties prowling through this section of the 
country. 

■ On the 31st of December the troops were all brought to 
Memphis by rail and ordered to be ready to embark without 
delay. 

The 46th, with the exception of four companies that were 
put aboard the "Autocrat," embarked on the Steamer 
"Marble City," on the morning of the 2d of January, 1865, 
:ind proceeded to Kennerville. La., twenty-five miles from 
Kiew Orleans by water, and disembarked. The camp at this 
place was protected irom overflow by the levee, but the 
rainy season made it exceedingly muddy. It was a com- 
plete •stick-in-the-mud" camp. 

The regiment marched to Lakeport on Lake Pontchar- 
train on the 4th of February, and embarked on the Steamers 
: - Planter" and ''Alabama " on the 7th and 8th of February, 
and proceeded to Fort Gaines, Dauphin Island, Ala., at which 
place we arrived and went into camp on the 9th and 10th of 
February. While the camp at Kennerville, La., was pure 
mud, at this place it was pure white sand. However, the 
discomforts of the camp were fully neutralized by the pleas- 
ure and profit afforded catching and eating oysters, which 
wers found in great abundance in the ha}' close by. 

Col. Dornblaser having been home on a leave of absence, 
returned to the regiment on the first of March, bringing with 
him one hundred and sixty recruits, filling up the regiment, 
to nine hundred and twenty-two men, aggregate strength. 
This made the 46th one of the largest regiments in the com- 
mand. 

While hero the Reserve Corps w T as re-organized and called 
the 13th army coips, to be commanded by Major General 
Gordon Granger. The 8th, 11th and 46th Illinois Infantry, 
comprised the 2d Brigade of the 1st Division, and Gen. E. S. 
Dennis assigned to the command of the same. Brig. Gen. 
•fames C. Veatch commanded the Division. 

On the 17th of March all the surplus baggage, camp and 
garrison equlppage was turned in to the Post Quartermaster 
and the troops fitted for an active land campaign. The Brig- 
ade was transferred to the opposite tide of Mobile Bay the 
<sanie evening, and commenced its march on Mobile early on 
tho morning of the 18th. On the 20th we reached Oyster 
Bay where Gen. Benton's Division of the 13th Army Corps 
were constructing corduroy causeways through the swamps. 
Our Division was detailed until the morning of the 22d of 
March to enable Benton's Division to get ahead. On the 
night of the 20th a tremendous rainstorm caused the tem- 
porary bridges built to be washed away, making it necessary 
to reconstruct them. The work was arduous and disagree- 
able, but was accomplished without unnecessary grumbling, 
fn consequence of the great difficulty of getting the train 
through the deep sand and mud and over the rough cord- 
aroys, the column did not reach the vicinity of Spanish Fort. 



73 

the first rebel stronghold on our line of march — until the 
eveniog of the 21st or' March. Early on the morning of the 
22d the Fort was invested, much to the surprise of the reb- 
els, as they did not deem it possible for us to advance so 
rapidly over the obstacles we had to encounter. 

After the Fort was invested, the 40th was ordered to guard 
the approaches from the rear, as it was reported that the 
enemy had a large force of cavalry in that direction threat- 
ening an attack. 

On the 31st of March the 1st Division, 13th Army Corps, 
took charge of a supply train to Gen. Steele's command near 
Blakely, Ala. The 46th was left in charge of the baggage 
train of the Division until the 4th of April, when it moved 
with the train and joined the Division near Sibley's Mills, 
east of Blakely. 

During the siege of Blakely the 1st Division, 13th Army 
Corps occupied a front line of about three-fourths of a mile in 
extent between Andrews Division of the 13th Array Corps 
and Garrard's Division of the 16th Army Corps, which re- 
quired but from two to three regiments to fill the space, con- 
sequently the troops in front would be daily relieved by oth- 
ers. On the evening of the 5th of April, the 46th Illinois 
Infantry was ordered to relieve the 8th Illinois Infantry in 
the trenches, and advance the line during the night and con- 
struct a new line of works. Companies G and B were de- 
ployed as skirmishers and sent forward early in tne evening 
to establish a line twenty-five yards in advance on the right, 
and one hundred on the left. The position was gained with 
but little opposition and the work of throwing up earthworks 
vigorously commenced. The rebel sharpshooters constantly 
kept stimulating our working parties to renewed efforts by 
sending minnie balls whistling over every portion of the line 
at intervals uncomfortably short. At about two o'clock a. 
m. of the 6th of April, the enemy made a vigorous attack 
upon our lines with a view to dislodge our working parties, 
but were handsomely repulsed. In this action Private An- 
drew Hess of company "B" was mortally wounded by a 
fragment of a shell. This was our only casualty, owing to 
the completeness of our defenses. 

On the 8th of April, Spanish Fort was captured, and on 
the evening of the 9th Fort Blakely was charged and taken 
also. In this action the 8th Illinois as skirmishers, followed 
by the 11th and 46th Illinois as supports were amontthe first 
to reach the Fort, but were prevented from following up and 
capturing their share of prisoners by reason of an order to 
withdraw to the outside of the works as soon as they had en- 
tered and formed inside of the same, thus enabling Garrard's 
Division to sweep down to the Bay in front of our Brigade 
and capture the prisoners. After securing these, and the 
arms, cannon and trophies, the Brigade marched to its camp. 

April 10th the Division marched four miles in the direction 
of the Alabama River and made preparations for a march 



74 

into the interior, but on the 11th of April news of the probable 
evacuation of Mobile was received, in consequence of which the 
troops were marched back to Stark's Landing during the 
night, and embarked at daylight on the morning of the 12th 
of April. At nine o'clock a. m., the fleet sailed from the 
landing in the direction of Mobile, and at eleven o'clock a, m. 
arrived at the Shell Road Landing, five miles below the city. 
The city authorities surrendered the place and its defenses 
to the Army and Navy of the United States on the 12th of 
April, and the city was occupied by the troops on the same 
day. 

The regiment went into camp in the western limits of the 
city, where a comfortable camp was soon fitted up. 

On the 16th of April the glorious tidings of Lee's surren- 
der to General Grant was confirmed and greeted with shouts 
of joy as the forerunner of the speedy overthrow of the en- 
tire rebellion. But the echoing sounds of exultation had not 
yet died away, when on the 20th the horrible news of the 
assassination of President Lincoln burst upon us like a clap 
of thunder from a clear sky, causing our rejoicing to be 
turned to bitter grief. 

April 21st the 11th and 46th regiments Illinois Infantry 
marched to Whistler seven miles out and returned, in conse- 
quence of a report that a rebel force was threatening the 
place, which proved untrue. 

The time of the Regiment was principally taken up with 
drill and inspections while in this camp, and never did it 
present a more formidable and soldierly appearance since its 
first appearance, and as such received many compliments. 

On the eighth of May, Gen. Dick Taylor surrendered his 
army to Gen. Canby, who at once sent commissioners to 
Meridian, Columbus, Jackson and other prominent points to 
parole the men and receive the public property. 

Major Chase, Paymaster U. S. A., paid the Regiment on 
the l'lth and 12th of May, up to February 28, 1865. On the 
morning of the 13th the Regiment left Mobile on the cars 
for Meridian, Miss., where it arrived on the 14th. Part of 
the Regiment was at once sent to Columbus, Macon, Gaines- 
ville, Gainesville Junction and Lauderdale Springs, Miss., to 
take charge of public property. The Regiment was relieved 
by troops from the 16th A. C. and Gen. Grierson's command, 
and ordered to Mobile, where it arrived in detachments from 
the 18th until the 21st of May, and occupied its old camp. 
Col. Dornblaser of the 46th was again assigned to the com- 
mand of the 2d Brigade on the 24th of May, and on the 27th 
the 1st and 2d Brigades of the Division embarked on steam- 
ers for New Orleans. The 46th went aboard the "J. H. 
Groesbeck," and arrived without accident to Hickox Land- 
ing at the Lake end and of the New Orleans Shell Road on 
the 28th of May, and at once disembarked and marched to 
the race track near the " Halfway House," where it went 
into camp. On the 30th of May the troops embarked at 



75 

New Orleans to proceed to Alexandria, Natchitoches and 
Shreveport on Ked River, to receive the surrender of Kirby 
Smith's Trans-Mississippi rebel army. Landed at Shreve- 
port, La., on the 8th of June, after one of the most tedious 
and disagreeable voyages imaginable. The crowded condi- 
tion of the boats and extreme heat of the weather, caused 
much discomfort and sickness. 

June 19th the Regiment embarked on steamer Peerless 
and proceeded to Grand Ecore, La., to relieve the 21st Iowa 
Infantry on duty at Natchitoches, Salubrity Springs and 
Grand Ecore. Gen. Taylor's army was encamped at Salu- 
brity Springs, prior to his march to the Rio Grande in 1846. 
The Regiment performed garrison duty here until November 
20th, when it marched via Pleasant Hill and Mansfield, La., 
to Shreveport. Major Clingman with companies E and G 
of the 46th Illinois, and Co. A of the 19th Pa. Cavalry went 
to Marshall, Texas, to relieve the 8th Illinois Infantry on 
duty there. 

The garrison of Shreveport consisted of eight companies 
of the 46th Illinois, the 80th U. S. Colored Infantry and 
company C, 19th Pa. Cavalry. On the 27th of December, 
Gen. Canby's special order No. 140 was received ordering 
the Regiment to proceed to Baton Rouge, La., and Spring- 
field, Illinois, for muster out and final discharge. The low 
stage of water in Red River made it impossible for the whole 
Regiment to embark on one boat, hence it left Shreveport on 
various steamers from the 1st to the 4th of January, 1866. 
and arrived at Baton Rouge on the 10th of January. As 
soon as the Regiment was comfortably situated in camp the 
whole available clerical force of the same was put to work 
making up muster out rolls. On the 20th of January the 
Regiment was mustered out and at once embarked on 
steamer Lady Gay for Cairo, arriving at that place on the 
25th, thence proceeded by Railroad to Camp Butler, II mois, 
where it arrived on the evening of the 27th. Through the 
usual energy of the officers of the Regiment, and the extreme 
kindness and courtesy of Major Cleghorn, A. A. 6., Col. 
Bridgman and Major Grover, Paymasters, the Regiment 
received its final pay and discharge on the 1st of February, 
after a stay in camp of only five days. An extra train was 
in readiness to convey the men to Decatur, Illinois, in time 
for the train North on the Central Road, of which they 
eagerly took advantage in order to reach their several homes 
with the least delay. • 

Thus closes the Record of the 46th Illinois Veteran Volun- 
teer Infantry. Its organization has been kept up nearly lour 
and a half years. Over seventeen hundred men have been 
members of it, and its line of march and travel has extended 
over ten thousand miles. 

While with thankful hearts we acknowledge the preserva- 
tion of our health and lives to enable us to return to and 
enjoy our homes and friends, let us ever hold in kind remem- 



76 

branco those of our companions who lost their lives in the 
great contest, and whose graves can be found from the Ohio 
to the Gulf. 

As our record as a Regiment has been bright and honor- 
able, let each and all resolve to perpetuate that record by 
individual virtue and honesty as citizens, that none may 
descend to the grave " unhonored and unsung." 

To our friends at home, whose loving eyes were ever fol- 
lowing us, whoso prayers constantly ascended to the throne 
of God for our welfare, and who stood ready with out- 
stretched arms to welcome us to our homes, let us ever be 
grateful.
